Default h/c install $$$
do you guys think that 1000 is a good price for a h/c install on my 2000 z28 a4. also be installing a ls2 timing chain and oil pump. sounds kinda high to me.

FWIW, CMS charges, I believe, $600 for Cam Install. Not sure what he charges for H/C Install together.

1k sounds cool for H/C but consider tuning it right after they are installed...

Rob quoted me $850 for just the cam (springs, chaing, etc...)

I was going to post that $1000 sounded great...

I would look into having Ryne do it. I have been keeping up with his shop and so far he is doing a awesome job and a stand up guy.
